Previous research has focused on what design thinking is taught (content) and how it is taught (learning modes and assessment). However, there needs to be an integrative approach in the context of ecotourism education. Therefore, applying Wrigley and Straker’s Educational Design Ladder mode, this study develops an Ecotourism Design Thinking Curriculum framework to combine the ecotourism content, teaching/learning mode and assessment.展开更多

The students should receive the cultivation of the professional knowledge, and at the same time, they must have a certain ability of the cross-cultural communication and the level of the professional English. In addition, the national medium and long-term educational reform and development plan （2010 - 2020） also proposed the strategic requirements to improve the quality of the higher education and the level of the internationalization, to promote the comprehensive development of the students. Because of this, the national big colleges and universities are carrying out the reform of the university English teaching in different degrees, and have achieved certain results. But today, in terms of the direction of the educational reform of the university English, the academic circles are still unable to reach an agreement. For example, to set the university courses in English, some scholars believe that because the English levels of the high school graduates enhance unceasingly, the courses with the language teaching as the main contents cannot meet the needs of the students, which need to be reduced or even eliminated, and should be replaced by the bilingual teaching with the liberal education as the contents. Also some scholars advocated that the orientation of the university English teaching in the future should be the ESP teaching or the academic English teaching, rather than the traditional English teaching for the humanities.展开更多

[1] In the traditional classroom teaching, the teachers mainly teach the teaching content through the language, which is more abstract and boring for the students who first contact. The content of dentition defect course is relatively fixed, which is suitable for case-based learning (CBL). CBL teaching curriculum design of dentition defect mainly includes three aspects: pre-class preparation, classroom guidance and demonstration, after-school teaching evaluation and feedback [2]. Before class preparation, teachers should carefully prepare typical cases, set questions and group students according to the syllabus;in classroom teaching, students carry out group discussion under the guidance of teachers and look for answers;after class teaching evaluation and feedback are conducive to teachers to summarize and improve the curriculum and promote the improvement of teaching quality.展开更多
